come on to let you how
if
there’s a problem with your
traction control. system.
See “Traction Control
System Warning Light”
in the Index.
The
traction control system may operate on dry roads
under some conditions, and you may notice a reduction
in acceleration when this happens. This is normal and
doesn’t
mean
there’s
a
problem
with
your
vehicle.
Examples
of
these conditions include a hard acceleration
in
a
turn,
or
an abrupt upshift or downshift.
Also,
when
the compact spare tire is on
the
rear axle, the traction
control system will cycle and limit acceleration for about
the
first
15
seconds
of
driving after
each
engine start.
If
your vehicle
is
in cruise control when
the
traction
control system begins to limit wheel spin, the cruise
control will automatically disengage. When road
conditions
allow
you
to safely use
it
again, you may
re-engage the cruise control. (See “Cruise Control’’ in
the
Index.)
When this warning light is on, the system will not limit
wheel spin. Adjust your driving accordingly.
The traction control system automatically comes on
whenever you start your vehicle.
To
limit wheel spin,
especially in slippery road conditions, you should
always leave the system on. But you can turn the
traction control system off
if
you ever need to.
(You
should turn the system off if your vehicle ever gets stuck
in sand, mud,
ice
or snow. See “Rocking Your Vehicle”
in the Index.)
